    Linear or point-projection perspective (from Latin perspicere 'to see through') is one of two types of graphical projection perspective in the graphic arts; the other is parallel projection. [citation needed] [dubious – discuss] Linear perspective is an approximate representation, generally on a flat surface, of an image as it is seen by the eye.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axonometry

    Axonometry (cavalier perspective) of a house on checked pattern paper. In order to keep the drawing simple, one should choose simple foreshortenings, for example or . If two foreshortenings are equal, the projection is called dimetric.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axonometric_projection

    While advantageous for architectural drawings, where measurements must be taken directly from the image, the result is a perceived distortion, since unlike perspective projection, this is not how human vision or photography normally works. It also can easily result in situations where depth and altitude are difficult to gauge, as is shown in ...

  9. Floor plan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floor_plan

    Despite the purpose of floor plans originally being to depict 3D layouts in a 2D manner, technological expansion has made rendering 3D models much more cost effective. 3D plans show a better depth of image and are often complemented by 3D furniture in the room. This allows a greater appreciation of scale than with traditional 2D floor plans.
